The talented playmaker sustained an ankle injury in Ahli's 3-0 defeat to Hilal and was expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks.
However, the medical team has passed him fit to play after just ten days of treatment although section of the Cairo giants' fans are worried that Abou-Treika could aggravate the injury.
